Dad, it been 5 days & 4 hours since you left his Earth spiritually. I tell you, this has been the hardest, most emotional and worst 5 days & 4 hours of my entire life. I dread this weeks. I wish there were something that I could do to correct the last 6 months of our lives. If I could, I know for a fact I would talk you out of having that damn surgery. But I can't and that breaks my heart that I have to live with it and WITHOUT YOU! All this week I have not been able to talk to you and hear you talk back and I tell you what Dad that is the worst. Not being able to hear you talk and answer my questions. I can't come home and look into your eyes and and tell you how bad or how good my day was. Every minute that you are not hear my heart breaks a little more. I don't know how much more my heart can break because it feel like my chest is just full of Heart Spurs. I'm not the only one that is hurting, I'm certain everyone that you touched with your life is hurting; however, I can only type for myself. I will continue to talk to you every night until you send me a sign to stop talking. So, until I get that sign, I hope you are having the time of your life up in Heaven with grandma "Effie", grandpa "Ralph", Uncle Robert, Aunt Margaret, Aunt Helen, and Aunt Mary. Also, by now I'm sure you have caught up with Fluffy, Patsy, Mike & Peppy (the dogs that we have had the last 20 years). Also, can you tell Papa Herbert that I said I Love Him. Thanks Dad. Until I type again, I Love You and Miss you dearly. Please look down on me and my girls and help guide me along the way so that I can be an excellent Father like you ARE!!!! Thanks for everything!!!!!

We were neighbors and friends of the Bolton's for quite a few years. Hubbard use to love and sit and talk with Big Ralph for hours!! He will be truly missed by all!!!!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

It has been quite a few years since I've seen Ralph. But he never left your memory. Decades ago I would see him all the time at auctions and we became friends. He always had a smile and would tell me great stories. God bless him and his family. May he rest in peace.

Dad, I am missing you so much that words can't explain.I wish you was here with us but I have realized that you are not suffering anymore nor do you have to depend on anyone.I know it hasn't been but a little over 2 days but my heart is being crumbled cause I can't believe a good man and father is gone now but I know you are watching over me.I am very thankful for having a father like you
